The Team Room is now closed—no new posts can be made at this point. This forum will no longer be visible from the end of the month, but remains accessible by the URL.

Original description: Team up, start a formation of dedicated hackers and helpers. Here, you can discuss production of hacks with other groups, or make your own hacking group (through approval processes).

Hello people! We’re the team behind this hack. We’re giving you some details about us first, so if you’re not interested in that, simply skip to the next section.

Papayaperson: I'm Anthony, and I need help creating a ROM hack! I've been wanting to for years, and for 3 years I've attempted learning, and even some mild hacking. I have decent all-around skills, but this has proven to be too much work for one person. My goal here is to create a hack that follows the classic unspoken rules of a Pokemon game, including the pattern for starter designs, eight gyms, post-game, HM moves, etc. I'm hoping that I get some responses and get moving on this game ;D

Reshilegend: Sup, I’m the second guy behind this hack. I joined a long time ago and I’m in charge of the graphics, like tiles, sprites etc. I’m also designing Fakemon. You can check out the main hack thread, or message either of us for more information, if this thread isn’t informative enough for you

The Project

Currently, we are working on Project Steam. The hack will actually be divided into two separate versions, Shining Waters and Hazing Flames (thus, steam). The differences are mainly parts of the story, version exclusive Pokemon etc. We haven’t decided the version differences completely at this point though. It takes place in the Charpa Region, which is divided into several sectors. These sectors are different in terms of nature, wild Pokemon and so on. The game starts in the mountain sector, and we’re now working on the beginning of the beach sector. Think of it like the different Kalos sections in XY. So, you can really see that we’re trying to include a variety of places for the region to explore. It is a classic style Pokemon game, meaning the player still has to fill the Pokedex, go through 8 gyms, battle the Elite 4, etc. However, there will be new features that will add to the experience. For example, we're adding gym leader challenges. These small quests are required to get access to a gym, and each gym leader has their own special quest that challengers have to complete.
One of the main features of this hack will be the Fakemon. We're investing a lot of time in the designs to make sure that they look good. However, some of them are not final, so their design could still change. It depends on your feedback if we change a certain Mon or keep it as it is! Now, we know many people don’t like Fakemon, which is why we’ll also include regular Pokemon, of course.The stories of certain Pokemon and the goal of Team Next ('Evil' Team) will be centered around Norse Mythology.

Current Progress

We have completed
- a good amount of Fakemon (back-)sprites,
- concept art,
- several early-game maps,
- almost no progress with scripts (due to the lack of scripters who were staying on the team, now we’re catching up though!),
- several new music tracks from different games
- and a very well-along story and plot.

Also, we're currently working on character designs/important people in the game. Here are a few examples of our work:

Preferred Name:
Skill(s) :
Proof of Work (not via PM, either directly in the thread or as a link) :
Contact Information (PM, Skype, ...) :
Past Work (if applicable) :
Time Zone (In terms of UTC) :
Availability (hours per day/week, optional) :
Reason why you want to join (optional, but it would be nice to hear) :

If you're interested in joining, but you're not sure if you should.. Just apply! Every dedicated person is welcome. We will definitely finish this hack, and to reach this goal, we need every helping person that wants this too. Thanks for reading!

Skill(s)prites
Proof of Workm if you want the link
Past Experience: Currently working on spriting for Pokemon scarlet red
Contact Information (Preferably Skype): email: [email protected]
Time Zone: Eastern time Canada

Someone who can create good Fakemon sprites based on our concept art. The sprites should have a high quality and experienced spriters will most likely be accepted. Fakemon spriters will also have the opportunity to design their own Pokemon for the game.

Battle background spriters. If you are experienced in pixel art and want to help us, you can apply as a battle background creator. Some backgrounds will contain tiles we're using for the game, e.g. certain tree tiles will be in the regular Grass background and so on. You'll be able to design them freely but they should have the style of the tiles.
In addition, if you can insert battle backgrounds as well you will help us a lot!

The other jobs like scripters are still open for application (see the list in the first post).

I hope someone is willing to help out with this stuff, we really want this hack to be completed and we definitely need some more helping hands. If anyone is interested, leave a reply in this thread or message me or papayaperson.
Thanks for reading and supporting the game!

Preferred Name: Fluffs
Skill(s): Mapping, Bsic Scripting, a bit of Spriting
Proof of Work: None to be honest. I recently started working on a hack, but don't have much progress yet
Contact Information: PM, or retroshare (PM me for it)
Past Work (if applicable): See Proof of Work
Time Zone (In terms of UTC): EST GMT- 5:00

From now on I'm managing the threads relating SWHF here since Papaya is busy, so if anyone has any questions or wants to help, PM/VM me or post here. Thanks!
At the moment the most important persons we need are good/experienced scripters. So for those who are interested, feel free to apply with a proof of your work.

Okay, this thread hasn't been updated in ages. I'll just leave some new screenshots from the main thread of the hack here since the OP is pretty outdated. (For those that haven't seen that thread yet.)

Spoiler:

We are looking for :

- Scripters/ASMers (is that even a word)
- Spriters
- Music hackers.

bold=extremely important

Experienced people are definitely preferred, please leave a proof of your work here and please make sure to only apply if you really want to stay on the team. Past team members have not made any contribution and simply left, which is unfortunate.
We hope to make a high quality hack, so if that's the attitude you like, please join. :]
If you have any questions feel free to PM me and I'll message you here or on Skype, whichever you prefer. Take care guys and thanks for taking the time to read this.

Alright, so it seems like I have to revive this once again due to the lack of any interest in joining our team. Read the post above for more details on our hack.
Replies/feedback would be appreciated, even if you don't want to join. If there are any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks.

We need help for trainer, overworld and icon sprites if you're interested in that. I checked out your work and it seems fine, the only thing that I don't personally do is editing already existing sprites so scratch is usually the way to go for me. If you can make stuff from scratch it would definitely fit better with my sprites. Will PM you
And yes, I do.

I wish I could work on this but sadly im not that talented in a lot of these categorys. But I will say that the way this hack looks makes me think that your gonna get hack of the year. Just make sure to have a good storyline. :D
